About this position
The School of Computer Science at the University of Sydney is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Sydney Algorithms and Computing Theory group (SACT) within the Faculty of Engineering at the Darlington Campus.
The project sits in theoretical computer science and algorithms, with research on distribution testing and quantum algorithms for state certification. The successful researcher will work closely with Dr. Clement Canonne and his team to develop and analyse new differentially private algorithms for distributed statistical inference, and to contribute to their implementation.
The role is embedded in an active research environment in the SACT group, with opportunities to take part in seminars and reading groups, engage with the broader research culture, and present work at leading theoretical computer science and machine learning conferences.
The post also includes independent research time and opportunities to mentor HDR and Honours students while contributing to the group’s collaborative research culture.
